Model Forum / General / Models / December 2006Facing Cutter
I'm currently attempting the Nemett OHC engine from Model Engineer. The author uses a nice looking facing cutter to skim the crankcase. My facing cutter came "free" with the mill and bears more resemblence to a pigs trotter with four sharks teeth embedded than a piece of workshop tooling. Anyone know of an economic source of decent facing cutters - 65mm diameter. TIA Steve >I'm currently attempting the Nemett OHC engine from Model Engineer.

To fit what? I've got a Russian made face mill with I think 8 square inserts, , more like 75mm dia. I don't know if the inserts are available in the West, but it comes with quite a few spares. Not up to the standard of Iscar or Seco, but it might be better than a pig's trotter. To you, my boy, *fairly* cheap. Or to anyone else if you don't want it. It fits a standard face mill holder, I can check the dia if you're interested. I've got it on a 30INT holder at the moment.

Thanks for the offer, I've managed to turn up a 50mm facing cutter in pretty good nick, ancient but sharp, so I'll give that a go and see how I get on.

I recently bought an Interstate square shoulder 50mm Face mill from J&L which can take nice polished carbide inserts for al-alloys. Was about 100 quid for the cutter, which was cheap compared to Iscar, Kennametal, Stelram etc etc. But it works like a charm, I even peripheral mill with it on the CNC mill. If thats too much then they sometimes come up on ebay as well as the odd box of inserts. Wayne... >> I'm currently attempting the Nemett OHC engine from Model Engineer.

Must investigate the mount on the milling cutter I've got for the elcheapo Clarke, see if I can get a better cutter for it, sometime.

They have built their own with little money and have the best results with it.
